SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract. Private businesses under
contract to the National Park Service
manage food, lodging, tours, whitewater
rafting, boating, and many other
recreational activities and amenities in
more than 100 national parks. These
services gross more than $1 billion
every year and provide jobs for more
than 25,000 people during peak season.
The regulations at 36 CFR part 51
primarily implement Title IV of the
National Parks Omnibus Management
Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105–391) which
provides legislative authority, policies,
and requirements for the solicitation,
award, and administration of NPS
concession contracts. Following are the
information collection requirements
associated with soliciting, awarding,
and administering NPS concessions.
(1) Proposals.
(2) Amendments.

(4) Request to Construct a Capital
Improvement.
(5) Construction Report.
(6) Application to Sell or Transfer
Concession Operation.
(7) Annual Financial Statements.
(8) Recordkeeping.
The only revision we are proposing to
the currently approved collection is the
addition of a Schedule R to NPS Form
10–356 and data collection fields to NPS
Form 10–356a. Some concessioner
contracts have an approved rate add-on
to cover a portion of the cost of NPSprovided utilities when those utility
costs are in excess of industry norms.
Concessioners choose how to account
for the approved rate add-on in their
annual financial report on forms 10–356
or 10–356A according to best industry
accounting practices. However, the
currently approved forms do not
include any schedules or collection
areas that show the amount of revenue
collected in excess of approved rates or
the cost of utilities provided by the
National Park Service to the
concessioner. This information is
necessary to ensure that visitors are only
charged the approved rate add-on
amount and to ensure that we have a
comprehensive view of the
concessioner’s financial situation as it
relates to the regulations at 36 CFR part
51. The proposed forms will collect the
approved add-on amount, the amount
collected, and the actual costs of NPSprovided utilities.
